Manhasset family Almost Gave Up Their Dog- Until They Found The Right Trainer

A first-time pet owner from Manhasset, Long Island, came to me with a dog that had severe crate aggression. They were ready to give him up that very day because they couldn’t even take him out safely.

This case also highlights how difficult it can be to find the right trainer. Before reaching out to me, they had hired a so-called "behaviorist" who focused solely on obedience and keeping the dog under threshold, rather than addressing the aggression head-on while the dog was still a puppy. Over time, the aggression worsened, and the family realized the training wasn’t working.

As a professional dog trainer in Manhasset, I’m happy to say I was able to help them tremendously. I remain in touch with the family, offering continued guidance as they work on strengthening their bond with their dog.
